Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ?

riawry, I agree totally with your summation.


I don't know how you compare "Mahavishnu" to any band, but here is something in a similar vain.

"Shakti" is the concept or personification of divine feminine creative power, sometimes referred to as 'The Great Divine Mother' in Hinduism. As the mother she is known as Adi Parashakti or Adishakti. On the earthly plane; so says "Wikipedia".



Enjoy the music.

I can't even imagine another band close to Mahavishnu; each artist was a unique star of fusion at that point in time.

John McLaughlin – guitars, vocals
Jean-Luc Ponty – violin, vocals, electric violin, baritone violin
Ralphe Armstrong – bass guitar, vocals, contrabass
Narada Michael Walden – percussion, drums, vocals, clavinet
Gayle Moran – keyboards, vocals

I think "Weather Report" was the only sound I can recall that's even comparable.

Inna, if you can't dig this, you got a hole in your soul.

Here is something I liked that nobody in the jazz group liked. The bass was so awesome, that I had to take the 12 inch woofer out of my bedroom after my son complained. Although I was enjoying it the most, we have to live together.

Enjoy the music.

Inna, Mahavishnu was more rock than jazz, and I'm not into rock; you will have to paste a link of what you think exemplifies what it is you're looking for, in order for me to know what you're looking for.


Enjoy the music.

I'm sure you have this in your collection.
